CARDIOVASCULAR SAFETY ASSAY

The present invention provides assays and kits for the screening of test compounds for their capability to induce cardiotoxicity in a subject. Said assays and kits are based on the finding that the interaction of astemizole with the HERG potassium channel can be exploited to predict cardiotoxicity o...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides assays and kits for the screening of test compounds for their capability to induce cardiotoxicity in a subject. Said assays and kits are based on the finding that the interaction of astemizole with the HERG potassium channel can be exploited to predict cardiotoxicity o f compounds during the development of new therapeutics and other agents.
